STATEMENT
​
My work inquires and reflects on how process of enculturation in actual times, are influential in the construction of our sense of identity both individually and colectively and more importantly the way it can affect the awareness of ourselves as transcendent beings.
​
Important sources to me, are found in the review of the way ancient cultures understand universal interconnection, readings on compared mythology, syncretism, cultural hybridization and studies related to society of consumerism and cultural anthropology.
​
Those are crucial conceptual tools for me to create a visual system, by the choosing and articulation of visual fragments, signs and symbols, crossing over times and cultures, to portrait the paradoxical yet complex coordinates that the human spirit faces when meeting with the forces of a culture that might mislead its path toward self-awareness.
